Rive pricing works in the US. In India, it's a different story. When Indian startups compare Rive's per-seat pricing to their budget, the math doesn't add up. Enter ExodeUI — made in India, priced for India, built for the world.

The Indian Context

India produces over 1.5 million engineering graduates every year. We have the talent, the ambition, and the market. What we've lacked is design infrastructure — the tools that let our creativity match our technical capability. ExodeUI changes that.

For too long, Indian teams have been consumers of design tools built for Western markets. Rive is powerful, but it wasn't built with Indian workflows in mind. ExodeUI was built here, by an Indian team, for the global stage — and it shows in every decision.

Building for the Next Billion Users

India's next billion internet users will access the web on affordable devices with limited bandwidth. Rive's runtime wasn't built for these constraints. ExodeUI was.

The difference isn't just philosophical — it's technical. ExodeUI's renderer is optimized for low-end devices, producing interactive UIs that load fast and run smooth even on 2G networks.

The Technical Edge

Where Rive relies on a proprietary runtime that adds bundle size, ExodeUI compiles to pure React hooks. The result is smaller bundles, better performance, and code that your team can actually read and modify.

For Indian startups where every kilobyte and every millisecond counts, this technical advantage translates directly to better user experience and lower infrastructure costs.

Why This Matters for India

The Indian SaaS ecosystem is booming. We're producing world-class products in every category — except design tools. ExodeUI fills this gap. Built in Bangalore, competing with Rive, and proving that Indian product companies can win on technical merit alone.

When you use ExodeUI, you're not just choosing a tool. You're supporting the Indian product ecosystem. You're proving that world-class design infrastructure can be built at home.

Built in India, Built for the World

ExodeUI is proud to be an Indian product competing on the global stage. No favors, no subsidies — just better technology. Try it free and see why teams are switching from Rive.
